TO PATRONS. 



Boston, January ist, 1901. 



N presenting our Catalogue for 1901, we take the opportunity 

 to thank our customers for their patronage in years past. 

 This new Catalogue enumerates only the best varieties in each 

 class, and our stocks of all are of highest grade. 



Seeds Post=Paid by Mail. We send seeds free of postage to any part of the United Stages, at ounce or 

 packet prices. All heavy seeds, such as peas, beans, corn, clover, roots, tubers, etc., we do not send free, as such 

 are quoted at net prices at our store. If these are desired by mail, purchasers should remit an additional sum 

 for postage at the rate of eight cents per pound, or fifteen cents per quart. 



Postage on Seeds to Canada. We send Flower Seeds at packet prices, free of postage to any post- 

 office in Canada. On seeds by weight or measure, and Vegetable Seeds in packets, the postage is sixteen cents 

 per pound, which the purchaser should remit. 



Plants by Express. Plants are now carried by the leading express companies at a discount of twenty 

 per cent, from the regular merchandise rates. It is therefore much better to send them by express than by mail; 

 better specimens can usually be sent. 



Please Send Orders Early. It is very important that you send your orders as early as possible on 

 on receipt of this catalogue. We aim to send off all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the 

 busy season it is almost impossible, hence the importance of ordering early. 



Prices and Terms. The prices quoted are those ruling at this date and are subject to fluctuation 

 without notice ; they do not include transit except where so stated. Our terms of payment are net cash. 



Quotations with samples will be cheerfully given for such variable articles as Grass and Clover Seeds. 



Liberal Premium on Seeds in Packets. When the order is accompanied by the money, purchasers 

 of seeds in packets at catalogue prices may select 25 cents worth extra packets for each $1.00 sent. 

 Thus, any one enclosing $1.00 may order seeds in packets amounting to $1.25. Two dollars sent 

 us with the order will pay for seeds in packets amounting to $2.50, and so on. This offer does not include 

 seeds in collections, by weight or measure, bulbs, plants, or anything excepting seeds in packets. 



Seeds by Weight and Measure. Except where otherwise priced, one-fourth bushel will be sold at 

 bushel rates; one-half pound at pound rates; fifty at one hundred rates. The smallest quantity of seeds we 

 weigh is 10 cents value, but 5-cent packets of almost all common varieties can be had. 



Cloth Bags, used in Packing, are charged at the following rates : % bushel, eight cents; ]/ z bushel, ten 

 cents; 1 bushel, fifteen cents; 2 bushels, twenty cents. If returned, clean, and in good condition, and free of 

 expense, they will be credited as charged. In remitting for seeds by the peck and over, please add a sum to 

 cover cost of the necessary bags. 



Name and Address. We frequently receive orders without the name of the sender or with insufficient 

 address. Customers should be particular to give the full Name, Post=office, County and State, number of 

 Street or P. O. Box, and the nearest Express Office. 



NON-WARRANTY. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. give no Warranty, express or implied, as to 

 description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants 

 they send out, and they will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser 

 does jiot accept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned.

SITUATIONS FOR GARDENERS AND FARMERS. 



Parties requiring the services of reliable men, married or single, will do well to 

 consult with us, as we have the names of a number on our register, thoroughly exper- 

 ienced in every branch of the business. No compensation is received for our services as 

 we are glad to help our customers when in want of foreman, or assistants. We have by 

 far the largest acquaintance among gardeners of any firm in New England, and it is very 

 seldom that any gentleman or lady who applies to us fails of getting the right party.
